What people are saying about Newport Beach

Parking was so easy, and the boat was right there. We were greeted by the staff and our friendly/helpful waiter. Views were amazing at night with all the lights. Loved that we could roam the entire boat. The upstairs lounge area was a nice surprise. Food was good, so were the drinks. I liked the music and dance floor. So glad the dining was inside!

We had a great time!! Absolutely loved the service, the food, I would definitely come again and definitely recommend! Thank you! I enjoyed my birthday!

The ship was in very good condition. Accommodations were comfortable. Food (appearance and quality) was very good. Service was very good.
